Anti-union stooge who owes his wealth to a SAG card. Similar to how Conservatives look fondly on the 50s while ignoring the sky high top tax rates that helped make it happen, he looks fondly on all the hard hats being worn back then while ignoring the high rates of union memberships from that time.
It became clear to me after he started to do commercials for Caterpillar Inc., which was after their executives gave themselves huge bonuses while freezing the salaries of their workers.
